Preview Build Discussion / WACUP x86 #24626 update anomaly

« on: July 11, 2026, 07:18:57 PM »

I downloaded the recent update and now nothing plays. No online radio. In case of a music playlist, it just fast skips over them one by one. And finally when I tried to play an OGG file the WACUP terminated without an error. And now after the OGG attempt I cannot launch WACUP at all: it terminates after the window appears.

EDIT:
I tried Safe Mode - did nothing.
I tried Crash Collector - it showed the terminal, WACUP continued to malfunction.
Then I ran WACUP again, it finally threw a crash report window and after which WACUP started running normally again.
Now that's odd.

Preview Build Discussion / Skin defect since about 3 updates ago

« on: May 15, 2026, 04:35:41 PM »

Currently on 1.99.50.24496 (x86).  I'm using the Drone v1.1 skin. See the attached image. The skin has lost ability to show playlist items with transparent background and the ability to highlight the currently selected item as it still could before some few updates ago. Now it just shows items in a black box. I also noticed that the button tooltips render incorrectly: half is correct, second half is default system tooltip without the skin color theme.

Resolved Issues / Bug: when WACUP plays music, monitor can't go to sleep

Another odd thing that came with a recent build: my monitor can't go to sleep when music (online radio) is playing in WACUP. Used to allow sleep without issues before.

Resolved Issues / Minor bug: not showing title from M3U when time is -1

« on: October 02, 2025, 07:39:14 PM »

Used to work before. Since some recent update WACUP doesn't display the title from the m3u file if the time is set to -1. If greater than 0 then it does show.

The title from following used to display fine previously:

Preview Build Discussion / Unpausing a radio stream after few minutes makes WACUP skip to next entry

« on: March 23, 2025, 07:50:33 AM »

Is this a known issue that if to unpause an online radio stream after a few minutes it makes WACUP skip to next entry in the playlist after playing 2-3 seconds of the current entry?
And if the stream was paused for a long period, it cannot unpause at all? Forcing me to whack various buttons in WACUP until it starts playing again.

And - I think this is a separate issue with the engine - that sometimes it doesn't skip to next, but skips multiple?

Preview Build Discussion / What does "silence threshold" under Silence Detection do?

« on: October 01, 2024, 07:25:43 AM »

To get my silence detector to relaunch the playback if internet drops in my case, I randomly whacked it to some four digit negative number and It worked. But what does it actually do?

Preview Build Discussion / Feature request for automatic reconnection with an online radio after drop

« on: August 06, 2024, 09:35:02 PM »

My ISP hates when I listen to online radios and resets my internet periodically. It takes about a minute or two for connectivity to restore. After the reset WACUP just keeps showing [Buffering: 0%] and is unable to continue playback. Have to double-click on the entry to make it start playing again.

What I wish is for WACUP to detect internet drop, wait a few min and try start playing the online radio again.

Thanks.

Wishlist / Feature Requests / Lock process volume level changing at 100%

« on: October 27, 2023, 05:19:01 PM »

Sometimes when I start playing a MID file after playing some other format the process volume level is set to 14% (and it's always set to 14% specifically btw). Which enrages me as I have to open up the Windows' Volume Mixer and play with levels, which gets very messy.

It is set back to 14% after next MID file starts, so I have to close WACUP after I've set to 100% before playing the next MID file to make 'that something' remember the new level...

So thank you a lot for implementing that feature separately into WACUP so now I can simply open the Volume tab and drag the slider back into its place.

But I am wondering, if you could implement some sort of option that prohibits plugins from setting WACUP's volume level, or something general that keep it at 100% at all times?

Preview Build Discussion / OGG files not playing in Public Preview v17040

« on: October 27, 2023, 02:32:28 PM »

My OGG files are not being played by the latest WACUP. The previous public preview didn't have this issue.
All other media players and my chinese phone play the files fine.
I would appreciate a solution. :>

Resolved Issues / Why does WACUP's installer need to download WinAmp's installer?

« on: February 17, 2021, 03:56:43 PM »

What if I want to install WACUP on computer that doesn't always have access to internet?
Would it hurt, if WACUP installer had an ability to pick WinAmp's installer from WACUP installer's launch directory?
